#179 Compassion - A Solo Episode

In this episode I explore the concept of compassion and self-compassion.

I unpack what compassion is and why it’s crucial in our lives, the incredible benefits of self-compassion for both mental and physical health and cover some ways you can begin to cultivate compassion for yourself and others.

Special insights from the work of Kristin Neff and David Whyte as well as some books enrich the examination of compassion, shedding light on how self-awareness and compassion go hand-in-hand.
